mixing my interests - le challenge
Since I've developed a stationery addiction along with my sewing addiction I thought it appropriate to 'mix' my two loves and create a home for my pens, washi tape, notes and stickers for this months le challenge.
I totally fell for the 'Fly the Flag' quilt by Katy Jones in Issue 2 of Quilt Now magazine. I love that they look like sticky page flags, so I resized them and used some of my favourite Moonlit by Rashida Colman-Hale, Cotton and Steel prints to make little flags and a cute banner.
The background is the most gorgeous mint fabric that I picked up on a trip to Abakhan, I wish I knew what it was!
So now my stationery has a pretty place to live and I can happily decorate my organiser and get my 'to sew' list under control ;)
We would love you to come and join in the link party over at le challenge, it stays open until 8pm BST on 16th October and you can link up any finished project that fits the theme 'MIX', so long as it has been made in the last month.
One random winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to the Fat Quarter Shop!
And if you're not already then head over to the le challenge blog, check out the other links and start following us, we have some awesome themes lined up!!
the little things
And am working on these little dolls:
They just need to be stuffed. I'm thinking they'd be cute on a keychain to hang off a bag or something?!
I was so inspired when I saw the incredible Liberty skittle dolls Jo made and then my mum bought me this magazine:
So I used the basic template from Craftseller and then made a very simple version and attached a ribbon loop.
Even my son seems to love them so hopefully they'll sell!
I'm still working on my bear paw blocks too:
Then there's those other little things that brighten up your day. The baby is poorly and we've had a hard time of late so when I heard that unmistakeable 'thud' of a package through the door (and don't we all just know when it's fabric?!) I was nursing her and thinking 'I know I've not ordered anything, what could that be?'. Nothing could have surprised me more. The wonderful and very generous Hydee had sent me some gorgeous Hope Valley as a thank you for a package I sent her recently. Now I have to point out I sent her a little bit of fabric and a magazine and she sent me LOADS of this:
